wheelchair GP tomorrow and I will let you know how it goes.
fluffy it's a very long process and we're still in the early stages. Thin splattering of snow here. Just waiting for the bus to work. I'm also in Merseyside so I'm hoping the buses aren't effected to much.
philomena that sounds like a very busy but productive evening.
mrsmad glad the evening with wally went well. Yes the combination of the two can be quite taxing especially as he is very much a sensory seeker. He hits borderline for a lot of neurodevelopmental conditions but not high enough to fit in a definite bracket which is frustrating.
Special that's an awful lot to be dealing with at once. I hope things improve soon.
Well I'm finally on the bus now. I hope everyone has a great day.

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 09:59

Morning everyone 😀
No snow here but very icy. It's a beautiful day though 🌨️❄️Frosty.
Special ahh bless you and your family poor DD constipation is so painful for anyone let alone a little one 💐, the school project sounds brilliant well done!
Wheelie hope you had a good night sleep and kept warm and toasty all of you. Am glad Joe is with you until Thursday it helps to know the whole family are safe when it is bad out

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 10:07

Think I have caught up with everyone, have a good day everyone 😀

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 10:09

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/01/2019 11:32

It probably sounds busy because I posted it all at once Cish! 😂

Dropped DS2 off, had a family coach meeting at school. 😆

NottingPhil · 30/01/2019 13:45

Afternoon everyone. I’ve been cleaning the house today, because the cold weather and the sunshine is making me feel very spring-like. Was just washing Alfie’s duvet and then threw up everywhere, I seem to have what he had but just as he’s getting better. I’m just plodding along now, being sick every 10 minutes, so am calling my mum to help us. Thank you all for your well wishes for Alf, it means a lot.

Special I hope your DD is doing okayFlowers

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 16:50

It'd tomorrow mrsmad I will let you know how it goes.

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 19:25

Ahhh good luck with that Cish Flowers

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/01/2019 19:51

A family coach is like the person you see before it's bad enough to see a social worker. She really just deals with the DC. Every 6 weeks we have a meeting at school to review things.

Met my mum in the Sainsbury's café, she had haddock fish cake, I had cottage pie, the DC had animation club, picked DS2 up, had tuna pasta bake and garlic bread for supper, DS2 was in bed by 6.35, DD will go to bed at 9. 😋🐟😋🐟😴

CishAndFips · 30/01/2019 19:55

philomena sounds like a lovely lunch. I like your DD will also go to bed at 9 zzzzz

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 20:15

Thank you PSB , i have not heard of them before . I think they sound a brilliant idea. Also love the sound of your lunch lol Xmas Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 30/01/2019 20:18

Sorry, I'm here. It's been a manic day as this morning I had to keep an eye on the travel updates and Merseyrail were being their usual useless selves in updating us as to what was or wasn't running, then I was busy at work as I finished at 2 to head back for parents' evening. In between getting back and PE, I popped to Tesco and got a load of food. Then it was PE, dinner, baths, bedtime. And now it's relaxing time!

I hope all the ill people are getting better. So many bugs about. Flowers

I remember Hairspray saying she was getting married. I hope she finds dresses she likes.

Tomorrow is my Friday. Whooooo!

Glad you're home safe Fluffy. You deserve a rest! 😴😴😴😴😴

Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 20:53

Glad you are fine and dandy Fluffy , sounds like another horrendous commute for you . Thank God Tomorrow is your Friday YAY! We might even have a bit of snow coming for you to enjoy with the DC , fingers crossed Flowers

WheelchairWoes · 30/01/2019 21:11

Fluffy I'm so glad you are home safe!

PSB Cottage pie is my most favorite thing ever to eat! I'm so jelly you got some lol.

Mrs glad you got a lovely visit to Goldcliffe! We have no left the house lol! Right now its -13F which is -25C So yeah we have no gone anywhere. The kitties have been sleeping in the sun and enjoying themselves!

Notting Good on you for cleaning! That will help disinfect and hopefully no one else will get sick!

Cish I'm so glad you see the GP again tomorrow. Don't let them send you out the door with a plan! You've been miserable and so ill!

The girls and I are watching some ghostly tv shows. I've upped my feed early today! I did 4 hours on 40 and then upped to 45. I've decided after 4 hours on 45? I'll up it to 50 and run 50 the rest of the day if I tolerate it well! I really want to get to my goal sooooo badly. I've been trying to figure out how I'll run my feeds when I get to my goal because it's 14 hours. I think I've decided we'll start at 5 pm and run to midnight. Switch out the formula and then run through until 7 am. Then I can spend some time in the day unhooked!

It's been nice having hubby home today! I got him to clean the toilet for me haha

Here's my embroidery I've been working on

Let's not forget about romance and love...grab your Valentine and join the Countdown to Christmas, thread 2!
Mrsmadevans · 30/01/2019 22:06

Ahhh bless Joe he is such a good un , mine cleans the loo too Wheelie lol Xmas Grin. I am so glad you are all in the warm , loving your embroidery too clever girl. Well done on the feeding regime you are doing so well , great progress . How are you feeling on it ? Any side effects or benefits you have noticed ? Did you mean ghastly or ghostly tv shows lol ?
I can imagine mine watching tv shows that are both at the same time lol ie Catfish Xmas Grin. Good to hear you are ok , keep up the good work , weather will soon be alright again l am sure Xmas Grin

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/01/2019 22:33

That's good Wheelie. DS1's having his night feed right now. This is him being really good, and he had some supper tonight. He needs it as his weight's down to 48kg and he's 5'10".

WheelchairWoes · 30/01/2019 23:14

Mrs I've not noticed any side effects from my feeding. I upped it to 50 m/hr now. My husband says I seem perkier than when I wasn't getting feeds so that is likely a good sign. We are watching GHOSTLY tv shows. LOL earlier we were watching one about Near Death Experiences and now it's straight into ghost hunting when that ended lol

We are now due some snow tomorrow! Anywhere from 1 to 6 inches so we'll see what we get!

PSB Yeah definitely sounds like he needs to up his calorie intake a bit! I've gain 1 lbs since starting this tube! I am now 99 lbs which is 44 KG and I'm 5'6" I am so glad to gain! I can't wait until I'm goal because I should gain a lot then!

PhilomenaButterfly · 31/01/2019 05:41

That's really good Wheelie! You'll start looking chubby soon! You can really notice when DS1 puts on weight, in his face and weird places like his feet! 😂

328

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching BBC world news. 😋Brew

NoWordForFluffy · 31/01/2019 06:03

Morning!

Wheelie, well done on the feeds and brrrrrr re your weather. Are you in the mid-west at all? A friend of mine in Oz has posted on Facebook that there's 90 degrees C between the hottest place in Oz and the mid-west right now! That's just insane! Stay warm.

I love your embroidery. My DD's favourite thing is owls (and Peter Rabbit!).

PSB, that's very thin for 5'10". I hope he gets some weight on soon.

Looks like another crappy commute today as there's uncertainty about trains. It's all rather tedious!

Mrs, I hate snow. I endure rather than enjoy! ❄️⛄️😂
